From New Hampshire Journal:

New Hampshire Jewish leaders lashed out at a progressive Democratic campaign to use write-in ballots in their party’s primary to accuse Israel of genocide and condemn President Joe Biden’s support for its war on Hamas.

Former Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky (D) and a grassroots group of progressives launched their “Vote Ceasefire” plan on Wednesday, urging their fellow Democrats to write “Ceasefire” on their ballots in the First in the Nation presidential primary.

“I think about this in terms of ending the regional conflict and stopping the annihilation of the people of Gaza,” Volinsky said during a Wednesday press conference.

Asked to condemn the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, which governs Gaza, the “Vote Ceasefire” leadership declined to respond. Reached via Facebook after the press conference, Volinsky responded to a follow-up request for a statement condemning the terror attack with a heart emoji.

Does that heart emoji mean he loves the pogrom? That he loves Hamas? Or just that he wants to turn the biggest slaughter of Jews since Nazi Germany into a joke?

He could have pretended that his call for a "ceasefire" is meant for both sides and that he is against all violence. He could have "all live mattered" the issue. But instead, he chose to mock it. 

Either way, this little episode shows that any "progressive" leader who only condemns Israel is not just amoral but immoral. 

Using write-in votes for political purposes like this is itself immoral - it subverts the democratic process that is critical to this nation. But because he started it, I hope that decent New Hampshire Democratic voters write in "F*ck Hamas."
